Thinking about this again, I don't think continuing to use 'stored' is
best after all, because that is before compression. And this is where
the mismatch really comes from AFAICT. For highly compressible data, the
mismatch between actual usage on the storage and 'stored' can be very
big (in a quick test using the 'yes' command to fill an RBD image, I got
stored = 2 * (used / replication_count)). And here in the storage stats
we are interested in the usage on the storage, not the actual amount of
data written by the user. For ZFS we also don't use 'logicalused', but
'used'.
